Q&A: My site is all flash, can Google spider my site?

Posted: September 22, 2008

The short answer is yes! However, be careful - Google’s indexing of site’s is still new and if they make a mistake on your site it can seriously affect your quality score.

One way to test what AdWords things your site is about is to use the Google Keyword Tool. When you navigate to the keyword tool, use the ‘website content’ option and paste your URL into into the box and hit submit.

If you’d like to see a few examples of all-flash sites keywords’ copy and paste these URLs into the AdWords Keyword tool:

Google is still not viewing images, nor seeing all the contents within flash - they are mostly looking at the text. Please read the Webmaster Central post closely. An alternate method is to use sIFR.

There is additional information at Google Webmaster help on Flash, images, and other non-text files.
